starlink-grpc-core 1.2.0

Core functions for Starlink gRPC communication

starlink-grpc-tools Core Module

This project packages up the starlink_grpc module from the starlink-grpc-tools project and exports it as an installable package for use by other projects. It is not needed to install this project in order to use the scripts in starlink-grpc-tools, as those have their own copy of starlink_grpc.py.

starlink_grpc.py is the only part of the scripts in starlink-grpc-tools that is designed to have a stable enough interface to be directly callable from other projects without having to go through a clunky command line interface. It provides the low(er) level core functionality available via the gRPC service implemented on the Starlink user terminal.

Installation

The most recently published version of this project can be installed by itself using pip:

pip install starlink-grpc-core

However, it is really meant to be installed as a dependency by other projects.

Usage

The installation process places the starlink_grpc.py module in the top-level of your Python lib directory or virtual environment, so it can be used simply by doing:

import starlink_grpc

and then calling whatever functions you need. For details, see the doc strings in starlink_grpc.py.

Examples

For example usage, see calling scripts in the starlink-grpc-tools project, most of which are hopelessly convoluted, but some of which show simple usage of the starlink_grpc functions.
